Why Orcatec: we run our own product

Most agencies hand over a project and move on. We also own a SaaS product with web and mobile apps, so we deal with real users, releases, support and uptime every week.

How a project works

  1. Free discovery call

    We talk about your goals, users and constraints and tell you honestly whether custom software is the right choice.

  2. Scope and estimate

    A short discovery phase ends with a feature list, a timeline and a fixed price for the first release or a monthly team budget.

  3. Design and build

    Prototypes first, then two-week sprints with a working version you can try after each one.

  4. Launch and support

    Release, training, monitoring and a roadmap for what comes next.
